Is there a link between the rise in AUTISM and the use of NEONICS?
The use of neonicotinoids insecticides (or neonics) makes up 40% of the pesticide market. In addition to being in household and pet products and in over 50% of the plants purchased from stores, neonics now coat agricultural seeds (prior to being planted). There are now increasing concerns about the use of neonics, like the development of insecticide resistance, toxicity to bees and other pollinators, aquatic as well as bird fauna, and on the potential health effects on humans. There is the possibility that neonics may also play a role in the rising incidence in autism. We believe that this should be further investigated and the use of neonics prohibited or severely restricted until such research has been done.

fox news - Controversial pesticide linkied to songbird decline
The world's most widely used insecticide has been linked to a global decline in songbirds.Researchers say neonicotinoids, which have also been shown to harm bees, can cause migrating birds to suffer dramatic weight loss and lose their sense of direction.The team say eating just three or four seeds a day treated with the chemicals caused problems.The pesticides - known as neo-nicotinoids or 'neo-nics' - are meant to kill insects that eat crops. They are used in sprays and coatings on seeds – killing sap-sucking weevils and aphids. Increasing evidence shows they also cause harm bees' ability to forage for food and to reproduce. Scientists who tested 198 honey samples from every continent except Antarctica discovered that 75 per cent were laced with at least one of the neonicotinoid chemicals. The European Commission proposed a ban on three neonicotinoids on flowering crops such as oil seed rape in 2013 because of the threat to bee health. The UK had originally opposed the ban.'These chemicals are having a strong impact on songbirds.'We are seeing significant weight loss and the birds' migratory orientation being significantly altered,' said Margaret Eng at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, a post-doctoral fellow, who also worked with colleagues from York University on the research.'Effects were seen from eating the equivalent of just three to four imidacloprid treated canola seeds or eight chlorpyrifos granules a day for three days.'The research is the first study to show that imidacloprid (neonicotinoid) and chlorpyrifos (organophosphate) - two of the most widely used insecticides worldwide -are directly toxic to seed-eating songbirds.The paper, published in Scientific Reports, shows these chemicals can directly affect songbird migration.'Studies on the risks of neonicotinoids have often focused on bees that have been experiencing population declines,' said ChristyMorrissey, the biology professor who runs the lab the study was carried out in.'However, it is not just bees that are being affected by these insecticides,'Neonicotinoids have become the most popular class of insecticides among farmers because they are very successful at killing pests and are easy to apply.'In the past farmers might have placed an insecticide into a crop duster and would spray their fields with the insecticide.'However, now farmers have access to seeds that in many cases are already coated with neonicotinoids,' said Morrissey.'Birds that stop on migration are potentially eating these seeds, but can also mistakenly ingest the chlorpyrifos pellets for grit, something they normally eat to aid in the digestion of seeds.'During a spring migration, Morrissey and Eng captured sparrows, which were then fed daily for three days with either a low or high dose of imidacloprid or chlorpyrifos.Lab experiments showed that the neonicotinoids changed not only the birds' migratory orientation, but the birds also lost up to 25 per cent of their fat stores and body mass, both of

You've probably heard about the sudden and mysterious drop in honey bee populations throughout the U.S.A. and Europe. Beekeepers used to report average losses in their worker bees of about 5-10% a year, but starting around 2006, that rate jumped to about 30%. Today, many large beekeeping operations are reporting that up to 40 or 50 percent of their swarms have mysteriously disappeared. This massive die-off of honey bee populations has been dubbed colony collapse disorder, and it is a big, big deal. Find out more in today's episode of SciShow.

According to tradition, the birds and the bees is a metaphorical story sometimes told to children in an attempt to explain the mechanics and good consequences of sexual intercourse through reference to easily observed natural events. For instance, bees carry and deposit pollen into flowers, a visible and easy-to-explain parallel to male fertilisation. Another example, birds lay eggs, a similarly visible and easy-to-explain parallel to female ovulation.

Possible origins

Word sleuths William and Mary Morris hint that it may have been inspired by words like these from the poet Samuel Coleridge (1825): 'All nature seems at work ... The bees are stirring—birds are on the wing ... and I the while, the sole unbusy thing, not honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.'"

Herbicides and pesticides kills birds and bees in Cameroon

Findings from 2012, revealed that, herbicides and pesticides including habitat loss is killing bees, and birds which may disrupt food supply and significantly reduce biodiversity in Babanki Tungoh.

Neonicotinoids banned in EU: How they harm bees

Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspThe EU has voted to ban the use of three of the most widely used neonicotinoid pesticides over fears they are linked to a decrease in bee populations across the continent.
Neonicotinoids are a popular type of insecticide, because they are highly effective against many kinds of insects, but thought to be harmless to other animals. It was previously thought that bees were not affected by neonicotinoids.
Seed is treated with neonicotinoid pesticide, then coated with talc. The pesticide persists in the environment and in the plants, including the pollen, which bees carry back to the hive. Neonicotinoids bind irreversibly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of an insect's central nervous system. It is claimed that once exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides, bees have trouble finding their hives and suffer a range of other detrimental effects, eventually resulting in the collapse of the hive.
The EU pesticide ban will only cover three kinds of neonicotinoids used on flowering crops that are attractive to bees and will last for a period of two years.

fox news - Controversial pesticide linkied to songbird decline
The world's most widely used insecticide has been linked to a global decline in songbirds.Researchers say neonicotinoids, which have also been shown to harm bees, can cause migrating birds to suffer dramatic weight loss and lose their sense of direction.The team say eating just three or four seeds a day treated with the chemicals caused problems.The pesticides - known as neo-nicotinoids or 'neo-nics' - are meant to kill insects that eat crops. They are used in sprays and coatings on seeds – killing sap-sucking weevils and aphids. Increasing evidence shows they also cause harm bees' ability to forage for food and to reproduce.

What's Happening to Honey Bees?

You've probably heard about the sudden and mysterious drop in honey bee populations throughout the U.S.A. and Europe. Beekeepers used to report average losses in their worker bees of about 5-10% a year, but starting around 2006, that rate jumped to about 30%. Today, many large beekeeping operations are reporting that up to 40 or 50 percent of their swarms have mysteriously disappeared. This massive die-off of honey bee populations has been dubbed colony collapse disorder, and it is a big, big deal. Find out more in today's episode of SciShow.

Neonicotinoids banned in EU: How they harm bees

Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspThe EU has voted to ban the use of three of the most widely used neonicotinoid pesticides over fears they are linked to a decrease in bee populations across the continent.
Neonicotinoids are a popular type of insecticide, because they are highly effective against many kinds of insects, but thought to be harmless to other animals. It was previously thought that bees were not affected by neonicotinoids.
Seed is treated with neonicotinoid pesticide, then coated with talc. The pesticide persists in the environment and in the plants, including the pollen, which bees carry back to the hive. Neonicotinoids bind irreversibly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of an insect's central ...

A quarter of British honey is contaminated with potent bee-killing pesticides

A quarter of British honey is contaminated with pesticides called neonicotinoids that pose a serious threat to bees, research has revealed.
The news comes after the EU partially banned these pesticides in Spring 2014 on flowering crops such as oilseed rape.

Findings from 2012, revealed that, herbicides and pesticides including habitat loss is killing bees, and birds which may disrupt food supply and significantly reduce biodiversity in Babanki Tungoh. As a consequence, existing chimps, baboons and the patas monkey have migrated to undisturbed forest fragments.
Video of Kandt's Waxbill (Estrilda Kandt's) shot at close range shows bird unable to fly after foraging on grass sprayed with herbicide and feeding on tomatoes on which pesticides have been applied. This results corroborates with testimonies from bee farmers in Baingo in Belo in 2018 who attest to have lost more than 4 bee hives estimated at approximately 2 million bees from uncontrolled use of pesticides and herbicides. This has resulted to scarcity of honey and a dwindling bee population.This may have direct negative effect on food crop production in the nearest future if nothing is done.

NEONICS: Are these commonly used insecticides killing the birds and the bees and harming us as well?

Is there a link between the rise in AUTISM and the use of NEONICS?
The use of neonicotinoids insecticides (or neonics) makes up 40% of the pesticide market. In addition to being in household and pet products and in over 50% of the plants purchased from stores, neonics now coat agricultural seeds (prior to being planted). There are now increasing concerns about the use of neonics, like the development of insecticide resistance, toxicity to bees and other pollinators, aquatic as well as bird fauna, and on the potential health effects on humans. There is the possibility that neonics may also play a role in the rising incidence in autism. We believe that this should be further investigated and the use of neonics prohibited or severely restricted until such research has been done.

The EPA has concluded what is causing the phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder in bees. To no ones real surprise it was a chemical pesticide that has caused the mass die-off of this important species. Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Jayar Jackson, and Becca Frucht hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Were you surprised by the results of the study? What will we do to save the bees? Let us know in the comments below.

“Bees are dying in record numbers—and now the government admits that an extremely common pesticide is at least partially to blame.
For more than a decade, the Environmental Protection Agency has been under pressure from environmentalists and beekeepers to reconsider its approval of a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids, based on a mounting body of research suggesting they harm bees and other pollinators at tiny doses. In a report released Wednesday, the EPA basically conceded the case.
The report card was so dire that the EPA "could potentially take action" to "restrict or limit the use" of the chemical by the end of this year.
Marketed by European chemical giants Syngenta and Bayer, neonics are the most widely used insecticides both in the United States and globally. In 2009, the agency commenced a long, slow process of reassessing them—not as a class, but rather one by one (there are five altogether). Meanwhile, tens of millions of acres of farmland are treated with neonics each year, and the health of US honeybee hives continues to be dismal.”

Neonicotinoids banned in EU: How they harm bees

Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspThe EU has voted to ban the use of three of the most widely used neonicotinoid pesticides over fears they are linked to a decrease in bee populations across the continent.
Neonicotinoids are a popular type of insecticide, because they are highly effective against many kinds of insects, but thought to be harmless to other animals. It was previously thought that bees were not affected by neonicotinoids.
Seed is treated with neonicotinoid pesticide, then coated with talc. The pesticide persists in the environment and in the plants, including the pollen, which bees carry back to the hive. Neonicotinoids bind irreversibly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of an insect's central nervous system. It is claimed that once exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides, bees have trouble finding their hives and suffer a range of other detrimental effects, eventually resulting in the collapse of the hive.
The EU pesticide ban will only cover three kinds of neonicotinoids used on flowering crops that are attractive to bees and will last for a period of two years.

Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspThe EU has voted to ban the use of three of the most widely used neonicotinoid pesticides over fears they are linked to a decrease in bee populations across the continent.
Neonicotinoids are a popular type of insecticide, because they are highly effective against many kinds of insects, but thought to be harmless to other animals. It was previously thought that bees were not affected by neonicotinoids.
Seed is treated with neonicotinoid pesticide, then coated with talc. The pesticide persists in the environment and in the plants, including the pollen, which bees carry back to the hive.

Herbicides and pesticides kills birds and bees in Cameroon

Findings from 2012, revealed that, herbicides and pesticides including habitat loss is killing bees, and birds which may disrupt food supply and significantly reduce biodiversity in Babanki Tungoh. As a consequence, existing chimps, baboons and the patas monkey have migrated to undisturbed forest fragments.
Video of Kandt's Waxbill (Estrilda Kandt's) shot at close range shows bird unable to fly after foraging on grass sprayed with herbicide and feeding on tomatoes on which pesticides have been applied. This results corroborates with testimonies from bee farmers in Baingo in Belo in 2018 who attest to have lost more than 4 bee hives estimated at approximately 2 million bees from uncontrolled use of pesticides and herbicides. This has resulted to scarcity of honey and a dwindling bee popul...

NEONICS: Are these commonly used insecticides killing the birds and the bees and harming us as well?

Is there a link between the rise in AUTISM and the use of NEONICS?
The use of neonicotinoids insecticides (or neonics) makes up 40% of the pesticide market. In addition to being in household and pet products and in over 50% of the plants purchased from stores, neonics now coat agricultural seeds (prior to being planted). There are now increasing concerns about the use of neonics, like the development of insecticide resistance, toxicity to bees and other pollinators, aquatic as well as bird fauna, and on the potential health effects on humans. There is the possibility that neonics may also play a role in the rising incidence in autism. We believe that this should be further investigated and the use of neonics prohibited or severely restricted until such research has been done.

(Earth Focus: Episode 69) Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides in the world. They've been linked to the decline of honeybees. But scientists now say they also harm many terrestrial, aquatic, and marine invertebrates. They damage sea urchin DNA, suppress the immune systems of crabs, and affect the tunneling and reproductive behavior of earthworms. They kill off the insects that many birds, amphibians, and reptiles rely on for food. According to Scott HoffmanBlack, Executive Director of the Xerces Society, through the widespread use of these pesticides "we are killing the underpinning of the food chain."

In human blood studies, neonicotinoids are linked to DNA damage and cell mutation.
Neonicotinoids command 30% of the global insecticide market with sales of over $2.6 billion in 2009. Manufacturers argue that their pest-fighting power is indispensable to agriculture. They were introduced in the 1990s to replace more damaging insecticides. They are systemic and absorbed by the plant, making all parts of the plant -- including nectar and pollen -- toxic to pests.
Neonicotinoids are widely used as seed treatments, applied as soil drench, or sprayed onto foliage. In the US, they are used on some 200 million acres of crop land -- on almost all corn, canola, and half of all soybean crops as well as on many fruits and vegetables. They are also extensively used in home and garden products. They are persistent, water soluble, and now found in stream samples across the United States and Canada.
"We are witnessing a threat to the productivity of our natural and farmed environment equivalent to that posed by organophosphates or DDT," says Dr. Jean-Marc Bonmatin. Dr. Bonmatin is the lead author of an analysis of 800 peer-reviewed reports on the risk of neonicotinoids (and the systemic pesticide fipronil) completed in October 2014 by the Task Force on Systemic Pesticides, a group of independent scientists from 15 countries. DDT was widely promoted for pest control in the US after World War II but was subsequently banned due to both environmental and human health concerns.

Herbicides and pesticides kills birds and bees in Cameroon

Findings from 2012, revealed that, herbicides and pesticides including habitat loss is killing bees, and birds which may disrupt food supply and significantly reduce biodiversity in Babanki Tungoh. As a consequence, existing chimps, baboons and the patas monkey have migrated to undisturbed forest fragments.
Video of Kandt's Waxbill (Estrilda Kandt's) shot at close range shows bird unable to fly after foraging on grass sprayed with herbicide and feeding on tomatoes on which pesticides have been applied. This results corroborates with testimonies from bee farmers in Baingo in Belo in 2018 who attest to have lost more than 4 bee hives estimated at approximately 2 million bees from uncontrolled use of pesticides and herbicides. This has resulted to scarcity of honey and a dwindling bee population.This may have direct negative effect on food crop production in the nearest future if nothing is done.

NEONICS: Are these commonly used insecticides killing the birds and the bees and harming us as well?

Is there a link between the rise in AUTISM and the use of NEONICS?
The use of neonicotinoids insecticides (or neonics) makes up 40% of the pesticide market. In addition to being in household and pet products and in over 50% of the plants purchased from stores, neonics now coat agricultural seeds (prior to being planted). There are now increasing concerns about the use of neonics, like the development of insecticide resistance, toxicity to bees and other pollinators, aquatic as well as bird fauna, and on the potential health effects on humans. There is the possibility that neonics may also play a role in the rising incidence in autism. We believe that this should be further investigated and the use of neonics prohibited or severely restricted until such research has been done.

EPA Finally Discovers What’s Killing The Bees

The EPA has concluded what is causing the phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder in bees. To no ones real surprise it was a chemical pesticide that has caused the mass die-off of this important species. Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Jayar Jackson, and Becca Frucht hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Were you surprised by the results of the study? What will we do to save the bees? Let us know in the comments below.

“Bees are dying in record numbers—and now the government admits that an extremely common pesticide is at least partially to blame.
For more than a decade, the Environmental Protection Agency has been under pressure from environmentalists and beekeepers to reconsider its approval of a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids, based on a mounting body of research suggesting they harm bees and other pollinators at tiny doses. In a report released Wednesday, the EPA basically conceded the case.
The report card was so dire that the EPA "could potentially take action" to "restrict or limit the use" of the chemical by the end of this year.
Marketed by European chemical giants Syngenta and Bayer, neonics are the most widely used insecticides both in the United States and globally. In 2009, the agency commenced a long, slow process of reassessing them—not as a class, but rather one by one (there are five altogether). Meanwhile, tens of millions of acres of farmland are treated with neonics each year, and the health of US honeybee hives continues to be dismal.”

fox news - Controversial pesticide linkied to songbird decline
The world's most widely used insecticide has been linked to a global decline in songbirds.Researchers say neonicotinoids, which have also been shown to harm bees, can cause migrating birds to suffer dramatic weight loss and lose their sense of direction.The team say eating just three or four seeds a day treated with the chemicals caused problems.The pesticides - known as neo-nicotinoids or 'neo-nics' - are meant to kill insects that eat crops. They are used in sprays and coatings on seeds – killing sap-sucking weevils and aphids. Increasing evidence shows they also cause harm bees' ability to forage for food and to reproduce. Scientists who tested 198 honey samples from every continent except Antarctica discovered that 75 per cent were laced with at least one of the neonicotinoid chemicals. The European Commission proposed a ban on three neonicotinoids on flowering crops such as oil seed rape in 2013 because of the threat to bee health. The UK had originally opposed the ban.'These chemicals are having a strong impact on songbirds.'We are seeing significant weight loss and the birds' migratory orientation being significantly altered,' said Margaret Eng at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, a post-doctoral fellow, who also worked with colleagues from York University on the research.'Effects were seen from eating the equivalent of just three to four imidacloprid treated canola seeds or eight chlorpyrifos granules a day for three days.'The research is the first study to show that imidacloprid (neonicotinoid) and chlorpyrifos (organophosphate) - two of the most widely used insecticides worldwide -are directly toxic to seed-eating songbirds.The paper, published in Scientific Reports, shows these chemicals can directly affect songbird migration.'Studies on the risks of neonicotinoids have often focused on bees that have been experiencing population declines,' said ChristyMorrissey, the biology professor who runs the lab the study was carried out in.'However, it is not just bees that are being affected by these insecticides,'Neonicotinoids have become the most popular class of insecticides among farmers because they are very successful at killing pests and are easy to apply.'In the past farmers might have placed an insecticide into a crop duster and would spray their fields with the insecticide.'However, now farmers have access to seeds that in many cases are already coated with neonicotinoids,' said Morrissey.'Birds that stop on migration are potentially eating these seeds, but can also mistakenly ingest the chlorpyrifos pellets for grit, something they normally eat to aid in the digestion of seeds.'During a spring migration, Morrissey and Eng captured sparrows, which were then fed daily for three days with either a low or high dose of imidacloprid or chlorpyrifos.Lab experiments showed that the neonicotinoids changed not only the birds' migratory orientation, but the birds also lost up to 25 per cent of their fat stores and body mass, both of

What's Happening to Honey Bees?

You've probably heard about the sudden and mysterious drop in honey bee populations throughout the U.S.A. and Europe. Beekeepers used to report average losses in their worker bees of about 5-10% a year, but starting around 2006, that rate jumped to about 30%. Today, many large beekeeping operations are reporting that up to 40 or 50 percent of their swarms have mysteriously disappeared. This massive die-off of honey bee populations has been dubbed colony collapse disorder, and it is a big, big deal. Find out more in today's episode of SciShow.

Neonicotinoids banned in EU: How they harm bees

Sign up for a free trial of News Direct's animated news graphics at http://newsdirect.nma.com.tw/Reuters.aspThe EU has voted to ban the use of three of the most widely used neonicotinoid pesticides over fears they are linked to a decrease in bee populations across the continent.
Neonicotinoids are a popular type of insecticide, because they are highly effective against many kinds of insects, but thought to be harmless to other animals. It was previously thought that bees were not affected by neonicotinoids.
Seed is treated with neonicotinoid pesticide, then coated with talc. The pesticide persists in the environment and in the plants, including the pollen, which bees carry back to the hive. Neonicotinoids bind irreversibly to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of an insect's central nervous system. It is claimed that once exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides, bees have trouble finding their hives and suffer a range of other detrimental effects, eventually resulting in the collapse of the hive.
The EU pesticide ban will only cover three kinds of neonicotinoids used on flowering crops that are attractive to bees and will last for a period of two years.

A quarter of British honey is contaminated with potent bee-killing pesticides

A quarter of British honey is contaminated with pesticides called neonicotinoids that pose a serious threat to bees, research has revealed.
The news comes after the EU partially banned these pesticides in Spring 2014 on flowering crops such as oilseed rape.

Herbicides and pesticides kills birds and bees in Cameroon

Findings from 2012, revealed that, herbicides and pesticides including habitat loss is killing bees, and birds which may disrupt food supply and significantly reduce biodiversity in Babanki Tungoh. As a consequence, existing chimps, baboons and the patas monkey have migrated to undisturbed forest fragments.
Video of Kandt's Waxbill (Estrilda Kandt's) shot at close range shows bird unable to fly after foraging on grass sprayed with herbicide and feeding on tomatoes on which pesticides have been applied. This results corroborates with testimonies from bee farmers in Baingo in Belo in 2018 who attest to have lost more than 4 bee hives estimated at approximately 2 million bees from uncontrolled use of pesticides and herbicides. This has resulted to scarcity of honey and a dwindling bee population.This may have direct negative effect on food crop production in the nearest future if nothing is done.

Neonicotinoids: The New DDT?

Find more EarthFocus content at https://www.linktv.org/earthfocus
(Earth Focus: Episode 69) Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides in the world. They've been linked to the decline of honeybees. But scientists now say they also harm many terrestrial, aquatic, and marine invertebrates. They damage sea urchin DNA, suppress the immune systems of crabs, and affect the tunneling and reproductive behavior of earthworms. They kill off the insects that many birds, amphibians, and reptiles rely on for food. According to Scott HoffmanBlack, Executive Director of the Xerces Society, through the widespread use of these pesticides "we are killing the underpinning of the food chain." In human blood studies, neonicotinoids are linked to DNA damage and cell mutation.
Neonicotinoids command 30% of the global insecticide market with sales of over $2.6 billion in 2009. Manufacturers argue that their pest-fighting power is indispensable to agriculture. They were introduced in the 1990s to replace more damaging insecticides. They are systemic and absorbed by the plant, making all parts of the plant -- including nectar and pollen -- toxic to pests.
Neonicotinoids are widely used as seed treatments, applied as soil drench, or sprayed onto foliage. In the US, they are used on some 200 million acres of crop land -- on almost all corn, canola, and half of all soybean crops as well as on many fruits and vegetables. They are also extensively used in home and garden products. They are persistent, water soluble, and now found in stream samples across the United States and Canada.
"We are witnessing a threat to the productivity of our natural and farmed environment equivalent to that posed by organophosphates or DDT," says Dr. Jean-Marc Bonmatin. Dr. Bonmatin is the lead author of an analysis of 800 peer-reviewed reports on the risk of neonicotinoids (and the systemic pesticide fipronil) completed in October 2014 by the Task Force on Systemic Pesticides, a group of independent scientists from 15 countries. DDT was widely promoted for pest control in the US after World War II but was subsequently banned due to both environmental and human health concerns.

Participants will learn about opportunities to mitigate for potential risks of neonicotinoid insecticides to aquatic systems.
Neonicotinoids (neonics), a class of neuro-active insecticides chemically similar to nicotine, were developed because they show much lower toxicity in mammals than previously used organophosphate and carbamate insecticides. Most neonics are water-soluble and breakdown slowly, so they can be taken up by plants to provide protection from insects as the plant grows. Foliar, soil and/or seed treatments are applied to a wide variety of crops including corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, oats, barley, potatoes, canola, and some fruits and vegetables in regions frequently draining into surface waters. Use of neonics is restricted in some countries because of concern about their toxicity to domestic bees, other beneficial insects, aquatic invertebrates, as well as the indirect food chain effects to birds and other wildlife. In this webinar, participants will learn about the agricultural uses of neonics, movement through the landscape and into aquatic systems, and demonstrated impacts on beneficial insects, aquatic organisms, and birds. The webinar will also describe measures to mitigate these impacts.

Dave Goulson: What's Happening to the Bees?

British naturalist Dave Goulson (A Sting in the Tale) turned his love of nature into a permanent field study when he purchased a rural French farm in 2003–creating a haven for bees, butterflies, and other creatures. In A Buzz in the Meadow, he gives a window into the complex ecosystem he watched thrive. Goulson’s fascination with insects, plants, and small animals is contagious–and enlightening. More than just an ecological study, his well-documented book also explores the far-reaching impacts climate change has on the environment–including the pesticides of today that will prove problematic far into the future. He’ll share anecdotes from his time researching the farm’s flora and fauna, give a warning about mankind’s impact on this intricate world, and offer a deeper appreciation for the planet’s smallest creatures.
